Asiatic Jasmine Trachelospermum asiaticum The small, dark green glossy leaves of dwarf jasmine have prominent veins of a lighter green. The slender, wiry stems simply sprawl on the ground, providing a dense groundcover within two years after planting in full sun, slower in shade. The small, pale yellow, star-shaped, very fragrantblooms are rare in Florida. General Information Pronunciation: tray-kell-loe-SPER-mum ay-shee-AT-tickkum Common name(s): Dwarf Jasmine, Small-Leaf Confederate Jasmine, Asiatic Jasmine Family: Apocynaceae Plant type: vine USDA hardiness zones: 7B through 10 Planting month for zone 9: year round Origin: not native to North America Uses: cascading down a wall Availability: generally available in many areas within its hardiness range Description Height: depends upon supporting structure Spread: depends upon supporting structure Plant habit: spreading Plant density: dense Growth rate: fast Texture: fine Foliage Leaf arrangement: opposite/subopposite Leaf type: simple Trunk and Branches Leaf margin: entire Leaf shape: ovate Leaf venation: pinnate Leaf type and persistence: evergreen Leaf blade length: less than 2 inches Leaf color: variegated Fall color: no fall color change Fall characteristic: not showy Flower Flower color: yellow Flower characteristic: inconspicuous and not showy; pleasant fragrance Fruit Fruit shape: pod or pod-like Fruit length: 1 to 3 inches Fruit cover: dry or hard Fruit color: unknown Fruit characteristic: inconspicuous and not showy Trunk/bark/branches: not applicable Current year stem/twig color: brown Current year stem/twig thickness: thin Culture Light requirement: plant grows in part shade/part sun Soil tolerances: alkaline; clay; sand; acidic; loam Drought tolerance: moderate Soil salt tolerances: unknown Plant spacing: 24 to 36 inches Other Roots: not applicable Winter interest: no special winter interest Outstanding plant: not particularly outstanding Invasive potential: aggressive, spreading plant Pest resistance: no serious pests are normally seen on the plant Trachelospermum asiaticum -- Dwarf Jasmine Use and Management Growing in full sun to partial shade, dwarf jasmine does best on rich soil with ample moisture but will tolerate less ideal conditions. Plant on 18-inch centers. Pruning along sidewalks and other edges is necessary to control growth. The stems do not climb, so this ground cover is ideal for planting round and beneath shrubs and trees. Propagation is by semi-hardwood cuttings placed in mist beds with rooting hormone treatment. Dense stands can be cut like sod to transplant to other areas. Scales or whiteflies followed by sooty mold can be a minor problem for dwarf jasmine. Pests and Diseases No diseases are of major concern. by Edward F. Gilman .

Confederate Jasmine, Variegated
Baker County Extension Alicia R. Lamborn Environmental Horticulture Agent 1025 West Macclenny Avenue Macclenny, FL 32063 904‐259‐3520 email: [email protected] http://baker.ifas.ufl.edu Confederate Jasmine Trachelospermum jasminoides ‘Variegatum’ Plant Description: Despite its name, Confederate Jasmine (also known as Star Jasmine for its star‐ shaped flowers) is not a “true” Jasmine or a native to the American south. Instead it comes from China, although it makes a nice addition to Florida landscapes. This evergreen, spreading vine has dark green, glossy leaves and white, fragrant, showy flowers in spring. It can become aggressive; the selection ‘Variegatum’ has green and white variegated leaves that are often tinged with pink, and is known to be a less vigorous grower than the species. Mature Size: Varies; depends on supporting structure Growth Rate: Fast Plant Habit: Spreading groundcover or climbing vine Plant Spacing: 18 – 24 inches Ornamental Characteristics & Uses: Foliage Color: Green or Green/White Variegation Flower Color: White Bloom Time: Spring Attracts Wildlife: Hummingbirds Growing Requirements: Cold Hardiness Zone(s): 7b – 10 Exposure: Full Sun to Partial Shade Water Needs: Moderate Soil Tolerances: Moderately drought tolerant; prefers well‐drained to medium‐drained soils Soil pH: Acidic to Alkaline Maintenance: Easy/Low General Care & Growing Tips: Use this plant as a groundcover or grow on a supporting structure such as a trellis or arbor. Trim to shape and control growth. A few light applications of fertilizer beginning 4 to 6 weeks after planting may be beneficial during the establishment year. Like most plants, a 2‐ to 3‐inch layer of organic mulch is beneficial to retain soil moisture.

The Plant Taxa of H.N. Ridley, 5. the Gentianales
Gardens' Bulletin Singapore 70 (2): 307–395. 2018 307 doi: 10.26492/gbs70(2).2018-08 The plant taxa of H.N. Ridley, 5. The Gentianales I.M. Turner1, 2, Y.W. Low2, M. Rodda2, K.M. Wong2 & D.J. Middleton2 1Singapore Botanical Liaison Officer, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AE, U.K. [email protected] 2Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Parks Board, 1 Cluny Road, 259569, Singapore ABSTRACT. Henry Nicholas Ridley (1855–1956) described more than 450 taxa of Gentianales, mostly from Southeast Asia, and was the author of over 70 additional combinations in this order. A listing of these names with place of publication and the types of the Ridley basionyms is given here. Many names are lectotypified. The new combinations Chassalia pauciflora (Ridl.) I.M.Turner and Chassalia violascens (Ridl.) I.M.Turner are proposed for Cephaelis pauciflora Ridl. and Gartnera violascens Ridl. respecitively. Three names are newly reduced to synonymy: Cephaelis elongata Ridl. to Chassalia bracteata Ridl., Geophila matthewii Ridl. to Mussaenda uniflora Wall. ex G.Don and Psychotria setistipula Ridl. to Ixora patens Ridl. Keywords. Apocynaceae, Gentianaceae, lectotype, Loganiaceae, Rubiaceae, typification Introduction This paper continues an intermittent series on the plant taxa named by Henry Nicholas Ridley (1855–1956). Earlier parts have covered the pteridophytes (Turner & Chin, 1998a), gymnosperms (Turner & Chin, 1998b), Zingiberales (Turner, 2000) and basal angiosperms (Austrobaileyales, Canellales, Chloranthales, Laurales, Magnoliales, Nymphaeales and Piperales) (Turner, 2012). In this installment focus shifts to the Gentianales. Ridley described many plant species, particularly from Southeast Asia. He documented the botanical diversity of the region tirelessly and seemed prepared to tackle all and any taxonomic group of vascular plants that came his way.

Deer Resistant Plants for the Sierra Foothills
Deer-Resistant Plants Page 1 Publication DEER-RESISTANT PLANTS FOR THE Number 1 31-113 SIERRA FOOTHILLS (ZONE 7 ) (revised July COMPILED BY UC Cooperative Extension Nevada County Master Gardeners 2003) EDITED BY Cindy Fake, Horticulture and Small Farms Advisor, Placer and Nevada Counties Various factors can make a plant resistant to deer. Many of the most resistant plants are poisonous, some at all times, and others only at certain stages of growth. Palatability of nontoxic plants also varies with plant age or with the seasons. Because of all these considerations, the following list of deer-resistant plans should be considered as a gen- eral guide only; deer will sometimes browse some of the plants listed--as they will sometimes avoid plants not listed. All young plants, shrubs, and trees should be protected from the deer until they get a chance to become somewhat established. Bold face indicates that the plant is particularly resistant. Few, if any, plant species are totally resistant to deer.

Poyang Lake, located in the middle reaches of Yangtze River (central China), constitutes the largest freshwater lake of the country. It harbours high biodiversity and provides important habitat for local wildlife. A dam that will maintain the water capacity in Poyang Lake is currently being planned. However, the local biodiversity and the likely effects of this dam on the biodiversity (especially on the endemic and rare plants) have not been thoroughly examined.
